Revolution becomes Wii

It looks like Nintendo has dropped the bomb early and re-named its next generation console"Wii". I first thought it was a joke but then the posts started showing up everywhere veryifying it. The actual name appears to be pronounced "We" as in "We will play together" or something like that.

At first blush the name is a bit absurd and I can already hear the raucous laughter of the various fanboys echoing through internet message boards around the world. After sitting on it a bit (and letting lunch sit a bit) I have to give credit for Nintendo for a coming up with such a perfect name for their next system. While the spelling of the system reeks of pure marking BS (apologies if there is a language where wii actually means anything) but given the goals of their upcoming system (bringing in non-gamers) it's a near perfect name. But that's just my .02.
